Posted on March 11, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy happy Hawwwmp Day! Hope your week is going well! This is my last day at home – and as you can imagine I am TOTALLY ready to go! Bwahahahahahaha!!

Regardless of my readiness (of lack thereof) – I’ll head to the airport bright and early tomorrow – fingers crossed that the security lines aren’t just cray-cray! Then by tomorrow afternoon – we’ll be in our first OnStage session – whoo-hoo!

I made a quick and easy – and SUPER cute (pats herself modestly on the back!) – card with the sweet-as-can-be Cute as a Bug DSP and coordinating Sweet Bugs bundle. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ UP! CAS Help Me Grow Lovely Blossoms Sneak Peek Card

Posted on February 9, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Happy Monday, y’all! I’ve always thought that the day after Super Bowl should be a holiday. I mean – anyone who watches all the way thru – with or without libations! – is likely not at their best today, right!? Might as well just call it what it is! I DO watch – mostly for the commercials (but I did throw my hat in with the Seahawks early in the game) – and I might or might NOT make it ALL the way thru!!

Today’s card is a little sneak peek at a new bundle coming on 3 March in the March 2026 Online Exclusives. It’s the Help Me Grow bundle and it’s chock-a-block full of fun foliage! I paired it up with my fave Lovely Blossoms DSP and…a new embossing folder! Take a look-see:

Posted on February 5, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all It’s Thursday, which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We’ve got a color challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table. I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!

When I saw the colors – I thought right off of the Easter Joy Specialty DSP and pulled it out. And then I realized that it was sort of a perfect color combo for…the new A Rainbow of Thanks stamp set (coming on 3 March in the new Online Exclusives)! So – I pulled them out – and popped them onto my fave fun fold for a quick and pretty thank you card. Take a look-see:

Happy Happy Hawwwwmp Day! Hope you’re having a great week. We’re looking for a few warmer days – thank goodness! Well – Wayne and I are happy about that but…Cady and Finn…not so much!

Today’s card features a super simple layout that lets our gorgeous DSP do all the work! In this instance, I used my fave – the Lovely Blossoms DSP.

Stampin’ UP! Sunshine & Tulips Thinking of You Card with Video

Posted on January 18, 2026 by stampsnlingers

Happy Sunday, y’all! As I type this on Saturday evening we’re wondering if the snow will come this far north. Yes – this far NORTH! They’re calling for SNOW in south Georgia and the Florida panhandle! Which is a Big Deal (if it comes). It usually doesn’t last long, but…I’m sure there’s not a loaf of bread or carton of milk to be found anywhere south of Macon right now! 😉

Today’s card uses a sweet new bundle – the Sunshine & Tulips bundle (from the new Jan-Apr 2026 Mini) – to make a card to send to a friend who might just need to know someone is thinking of them. Take a look-see:

Posted on December 18, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We’ve got a sketch challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table. I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!

I decided to make another Valentine’s day card for you (it’ll be here before you can blink!). Our sketch was perfect (IMHO) for the new Valentine’s Day stamp – coming on 6 Jan in the new Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog. I added the Made with Love DSP (also in the new catalog) – and some black (a fave with these colors). Take a look-see:

Stampin’ UP! CAS Thanking You Pine Tree Thank You Cards

Posted on December 15, 2025 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy Monday! Well – the cold hit yesterday – with a windy blast of arctic air. So – the barn is all closed up – the plants in the garage – a heated water bucket hung on the outside gate so I don’t have to break ice in the trough in the morning. It’s going to be 19 – with a wind chill down to I-don’t-even-know. I can see all y’all northerners rolling yer eyes. 🙄 But – this is the SOUTH! So…that’s way too danged cold for this kid!

As I was looking at my list of thank-you’s that I need to send, I realized that this would be a good time to make a card that would easily make mulitples. I hit on the Thanking You stamp from the Annual Catalog and paired it with a tree from the Pine Tree Trimmings set. Add a double frame and…boom! Take a look-see:
